The Digicam Army Photo

Photographer’s Note

Summer Palace, Beijing; during the May 2005 holiday, where all of China has the week off work.

The Summer Palace was very, very busy during this holiday season, with maybe a factor of 10 more people than during the quiet winter months. Everyone was there, including these girls from one branch of the Chinese Army with their digicam.

Nice decisive moment shot. It really captures the wonderment these young soldiers must be sensing and it really personifies them.

Digicam or not, they are keeping a watchful eye on you!!!Funny shot, the expression on their face is hilarious. Thhe choice of the title is spot on.

A lot of interesting expressions captured in this shot, some of them looking curiously at you and the other astonished by the digicam, especially from the one with the bottle.
The color of the background is in harmony with their uniform !
Well seen,
Véro

Great shot, esp because you got all their faces in. I like the girl on the far right's expression.

Hello Josh! What a great human interest shot! Those lovely girls are so excited about the camera, what splendid expressions you have captured! Great clarity and DOF, love how the colours and gilt on the uniforms are reflected in the gates as well. Well done!
